NAPKIN FOLDING TIPS
When creating a unique look for your table settings, don't forget the napkins. What color they are and how they're folded can really add to the ambience of your restaurant. There are literally hundreds of ways to fold napkins. We recommend that you try to pick one that reflects either the theme or logo of your business, or the special event that you're planning. For example, a restaurant named The Flower City Cafe might try the Water Lily napkin fold. Or if you want to create a whimsical setting, a good option might be the Pinwheel napkin fold.
